THE DARKEST HOUR.

For period of four years I've been a
victim of a verv severe and agOnizing case
Of Salt Rheum, whico affected my hands 10
such an extent that they almost became a
burden.
Ny hand became raw and hOrritying
compelling me to keep it covered all the
time.
I've spent hundreds of dollars for vari-
Gus preparations. but instead of benetiting
my condition, they all seemed to stimulate
and encourage the progress of the miser-
able disease, until had about given up all
hope.
But thank heaven. 1.-THE darkest hour is
just before day." and | am rajOiced to know
that a positive cure has been found. which
is known as b. B. B.-Botanic Blood Balm.
My family all rejoice at its magical cur
alive powers in giving me relief. My hand
has been cured and resembles burnt sur
face after being healed over, more than any
thing else. 1t has also cured my two chill
dren of lOathesome form OF Itch which
had resisted all previous treatment. refer

THE MAN or MUCH MAIL.

There is one other member VINO always re
ceives a good naturei shot from all whom he
offends. He is the one who has So large a
mail that the box bearing his initials is al
ways crowded with his letters rs n rule, the
mail in club is comparatively light con-
sidering the membership, as only the limited
number Of frequenting members have their
letters addressed there. The letter fiend is
the companion of the newspaper fiend. He is
generally retired business man, and not a
literary member, as might be supposed Not
withstanding the check system there is al
ways some good natured dispute about ex-
changed hats and umbrellas, and once in a
while the overcoats get mixed-generally
after delivery-and strange documents are
found in the pockets the next morning. The
near sighted men do not make the absurd
mistakes that are generally attributed to them,
but they contribute their quota TO the general
amusement by their unconscious blundering
The men with bad memories for names and
faces create more trouble. They always get
everything wrong. They often cause much
confusion by their mistakes. The married
men are the steadiest attendants outside of
the habiiles- 1t is calculated that during the
first year Of married bliss nothing will be seen
of the member, but after that he comes
around again, and is once more one of the
boys. This, however, is a legend. The prac-
teal joker does not flourish in the club as in
the community at large because his range is
comparatively limited He is soon found out
and avoided.
Another amusing phase of club life is the
comical tendencies of some i'll chipping to-
gether and ordering meals The figuring Of
these to reduce their expenses border ON the
absurd. The miser is. of course, not found in
the club. The spendthrift generally runs his
limit and gets posted The lesson does him
good. II he is inconigible be is soon dropped
for non payment. The uninitiated either be-
lieve the club to he a resort of riotous living
or slow and dull resort, attractive only be-
caase it is exclusive; but it is neither-a little
community with a common cause, with the
usual types of character, excepting the de-
pravei-New York Times
